Noirin Ni Riain

I have been to Heaven
on this night
And heard the cherubs sing.

I have been to Pardise
this evening
And heard the angels' bell ring.

Your voice lifts me up
from places
dark and bleak.

For when I hear you sing,
I hear
God's own voice speak!





J.B.D. 12/16/96
Dedicated to the most beautiful voice I have ever heard, that of the Celtic soprano, Noirin Ni Riain!
